4 Trick Of the Trade.

The willy tree dealer who sells blue Ro-
ses, curculio-proof Plums, Strawberries
as large as Red Astrachan Apples, and
the many other inventions of his fertile
brain, must look with admiration at the
progress which many Of the plant and
seed dealers are making in his direction.
That some one without reputation, should
try to gull the public with an advertise
ment of "the beautiful and fragrant Gin
namon vine," displaying an elaborate cut
for the purpose, would scarcely deserve
notice, although the said Cinnamon vine
is nothing more or less than the Chinese
Yam, introduced into the country twen-
ty-fve years ago. The obscurity Of the
advertiser would naturally make people
shy of him; but when some of our lead
ing and well known firms stoop to the
same practice, it is, to say the least, de
grading an honorable trade.
In one of the most widely circulated
magazines of this month appears an elab-
crate engraving of a landscape with some
Lilies in the foreground, and this plant
is heralded as the Beautiful Coral Lily
of Siberia, with some very pathetic nom
sense of its cheering the exile on his sad
journey. No other name Is given, but it
is simply Lilium tenuifolium. This style
of advertising we can characterize fifty
with no other name than trickery.
Though the articles themselves may be
good, the public are deceived by trumped
up names, and are led to purchase what
they may, perhaps already have. Though
the last two cases mentioned are by weH
known plant dealers. the practice is none
the less reprehensible, and if the trade is
expected to maintain the high standard
Of honor that has heretofore attached to
it, such deceptive advertising must be
Stunned and condemned By all it, mem-

MAxEY's Ga, January, 1856
For twelve or fourteen years ! have been 4
great sufferer from a terrible form OF blood
poison which ran into the secondary, and fl
nallv it was pronounced tetary form. My
head. face and shoulders became almost mass
of corruption, and finally the disease com
menced eating away my skull bones. be-
came so horribly repulsiye that for three years
| absolutely refused to let people see me. |
used large quantities of most noted blood rem
edies and applied to nearly all physicians near
me. but my condition continued to grow worse,
and all said that | must surely die. My bones
became the seat of eXcruciating aches and
pains; my nights were passed in misery /
was reduced in flesh and strength; my kid
news were terribly deranged, and life became a
burden to me.
| CHANGED to see an advertisement Of b b.
B. and sent one dollar to ". c. Birchmore &
Co., merchants Of our place, and they procur-
ed one bottle for me. 1t was used with dcci-
ded benefit. and when eight or ten bottles had
been used | was pronounced sound and well.
Hundreds of scars can now be seen on me,
looking like q man who had been burned and
then restored. Ny case was well known in
this county. and for the benefit of others who
nav be similarly affected, think it my duty
to give the facts to the public, and to extend
my heartfelt thanks for so valuable remedy.

return of the disease has occurred.

Unique duplication for Office.

DEAR SIR This Is TO inform you, and
through you TO inform the President, that
am willing to accept of an Office under
his administration, provided it pays well
but have very little expectation of get
ting one.
| consider myself qualified TO fill al
most any office but there are hundreds
of Others who are as well qualified as |
am, and perhaps better.
| consider myself an honest man; but
there are thousands of others equally
honest.
lam political friend of the President
but that is no good reason why should
receive an appointment.
am stranger to fame and fortune;
but that is no good reason why should
not receive one.
| should, of course, like the best Office
but "beggars must not be choosers"
| should like to have an office near
home; but do not wish any honest and
capable officer turned out to make room
for me, who am untried.
| am a poor man but do not wish
to plead poverty.
am farmer; but that argues moth.
ing for or against me.
am also a surveyor but there may
be a good many better ones.
am sclftaught man but | have
much yet to learn.
have the reputation Of a great math-
ematician but do not wish TO boast Of it.
have small family; but everybody
else either has, or wishes TO have.
| have lived several years in Missouri
but am yet unknown to fame.
| have sought office it Is true; but |
have seldom been successful.
see n great many offices bestowed at.
Washington City, either with or without
merit; but none have fallen to my share.
This looks somewhat strange but how
could it be otherwise?
The great probability is that never
will obtain one but who knowsy
You may perhaps think ! am jesting
with you in thus applying for Office but
| assure YOU am in earnest
You may accuse me, too, Of egotlsm
and arrogance in thus addressing You
but how can expect an office unless !
ask for it?
You may perhaps wish to have my
character before appointing me TO office
but indeed could not exchange my char
acter for any Office whatever.
| could perhaps get good recommen-
dation from my neighbors; but do not
wish to ask them to tell lie for me-
If YOU wish a reference to some person
high in office, | will referyou to the Hon.
John f. Ryland. Of our Supreme Court ;
but he knows very little, if anything,
about me.
If you can do nothing for me in the
way of office, please write and say so
but make no apologize.
shall await anxiously reply to this
letter; but shall be agreeably disap-
pointed if get one
